Our proposed "Precollege Enrichment Program" (PREP), which incorporates a strong focus in the chemical and biological sciences, was organized in response to the NIH RFA RR-94-0, "NCCR Minority Initiative: K-12 Teachers and High School Students". Our focus will be to include minority high school students as well as teachers in a summer research and learning experience at University of California, Santa Cruz. Our goal is to provide early instruction to eight minority high school students in basic research laboratory skills for eight weeks, with an emphasis in easing the transition from high school to the University through enrichment activities prior to freshman entry. This proposed project will also prepare three K-12 teachers (one preservice and two inservice), who are currently and/or planning on teaching in Santa Cruz county. We propose to continue a model program that has been ongoing at UCSC for the last decade, under the direction of Profs. Crews (Chemistry) and Ortiz (Biology), with participation by minority students and inservice teachers from high schools of the central California coastal region. Our overall goal is the improvement of science education in the region's classrooms. We have established a partnership with the local K-12 education community, designed to foster long term enhancement of science instruction in our public schools. The primary objective is to provide teachers with scientific literacy, a content rich curriculum and the teaching expertise to prepare and motivate underrepresented youth. The broad objective of the high school program component of this initiative is to draw increasing numbers of our region's young people into the study of the biological sciences and ultimately direct them to careers in biomedical research, biotechnology, and teaching.

我们建议的“大学预科充实计划”(PREP)，其中包括 将重点放在化学和生物科学上，组织于#年。 对NIH RFA RR-94-0《NCCR少数民族倡议：K-12教师》的回应 和高中生。我们的重点将是包括少数族裔高中 学校的学生以及老师在暑期进行的研究和学习 在加州大学圣克鲁斯分校工作的经历。我们的目标是 对8名少数民族高中生进行早期基础教学 八周的实验室研究技能，重点是放松 通过充实从高中到大学的过渡 新生入学前的活动。这个拟议的项目还将 准备三名K-12教师(一名职前教师和两名在职教师)，他们是 目前和/或计划在圣克鲁斯县任教。 我们建议继续在加州大学圣迭戈分校进行的一个示范项目 在过去的十年里，在教授的指导下。Crews(化学)及 Ortiz(生物学)，由少数族裔学生和在职人员参加 来自加州中部沿海地区高中的教师。 我们的总体目标是改善该地区的科学教育。 教室。我们已经与当地的K-12建立了合作伙伴关系 教育界，旨在促进科学的长期发展 在我们的公立学校进行教育。主要目标是提供 具有科学素养的教师，内容丰富的课程和 传授专门知识，以培养和激励代表性不足的青年。这个 这一倡议的高中方案组成部分的广泛目标 是吸引越来越多的我们地区的年轻人参加这项研究 并最终将他们引向 生物医学研究、生物技术和教学。
